Researches trace four decades of climate change in the South-Eastern Baltic region: more hot days, fewer frost days
Researcher from the Laboratory of Dara Gaeva, together with colleagues from Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, have analyzed changes in extreme climate events in the south‑eastern Baltic region over the past 40 years (1981 – 2020). The results, published in Theoretical and Applied Climatology in the article “Four decades of climate change (1981–2020) in the South-Eastern Baltic region: trends and spatial patterns of air temperature and precipitation extremes”, show that the region is becoming significantly warmer, with heatwaves occurring more often and lasting longer
June 16 - 19, 2026 International Landscape Ecology Laboratory holds an international conference "Landscape Ecology: Adaptation, Resource and Risk Management" Landscape ecology: adaptation, resource and risk management (LEARRM - 2026)
The conference aims to advance landscape ecology as a scientific basis for territorial management under conditions of global change and increasing natural and climate‑related risks. The purpose of the conference is to analyze and discuss the current state and future prospects of landscape ecology in Russia and worldwide, to consider modern methodological approaches and empirical findings, and to create a scientific platform for exchange of experience and development of national and international research cooperation. Special attention will be paid to applied aspects of landscape ecology and their use in environmental and spatial planning, climate change adaptation, and natural risk management.
International Laboratory of Landscape Ecology Presents Findings at EUROSOIL2025
From 8 to 12 September 2025, the 7th EUROSOIL Congress took place in Seville, Spain, bringing together more than 1,000 soil scientists from 63 countries under the topic “Advancing Soil Knowledge for a Sustainable Future.” The congress opened with a series of keynote lectures by leading global experts. Nobel Peace Prize laureate Professor Rattan Lal highlighted the pivotal role of soil in the 21st century; Panos Panagos (Joint Research Centre, European Commission) discussed challenges and opportunities for soil science and policy as well as presented the new Soil Monitoring and Resilience Law; Claire Chenu (INRAE) delivered a lecture on soil carbon science for EU policy. Heike Knicker explored the biochemical effects of biochar; Manuel Delgado-Baquerizo spoke about soil biodiversity under global change; Laura B. Reyes Sánchez addressed soil science education; and Peter Schad discussed the future of international soil classification.
Air temperature and population health in Russian cities: results of the first national study, 2000–2019
On May 15, the International Laboratory for Population and Health, in collaboration with the International Laboratory of Landscape Ecology, held a seminar on “Air temperature and population health in Russian cities: results of the first national study, 2000–2019.”The seminar featured presentations by Sergey Timonin, a research fellow at the Australian National University, and Natalia Shartova, a postdoctoral researcher at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health.
Laboratory staff Robert Sandlersky and Anna Gorbacheva presented their research results at the Ninth National Scientific Conference with International Participation "Mathematical Modeling in Ecology" (EcoMatMod-2025), which was held from April 2 to 5, 2025 at the Institute of Physicochemical and Biological Problems of Soil Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Pushchino. The conference has been held regularly since 2009 and traditionally brings together a wide range of researchers whose work is devoted to mathematical modeling in various fields of biology and ecology
The key areas of the conference this year were modeling the processes of growth and development of living organisms, the dynamics of populations and communities; modeling of ecological complexity, statistical and spatial modeling; modeling of element cycles and matter flows in ecosystems, including at the regional and global levels; mathematical models in soil science and landscape science; mathematical models as a tool for supporting decision-making in problems of managing biological resources, solving climate change problems and rational nature management.
